Companies House Identity Verification for Accountants & ACSPs
ACSPverify helps accountants and Authorised Corporate Service Providers run Companies House-ready identity checks for directors and PSCs — without the cost or complexity of full AML platforms.

Companies House identity verification is coming fast. Your clients aren't ready.
Companies House identity verification rules are changing quickly, and most firms aren't prepared. GOV.UK One Login is manual and creates weeks of client chasing, while full AML platforms are expensive and more than many practices need. ACSPverify fills the gap with a dedicated identity verification tool built specifically for Companies House requirements.
What firms are telling us
"We're chasing directors for weeks to verify their ID."
"We don't want to store biometric data ourselves."
"Full AML software is overkill when we only need Companies House ID checks."
How ACSPverify fits into the ACSP identity verification process
Step 1 – Invite your client
Create a subject (director, PSC, or filer) and send them a secure ACSPverify link.
Step 2 – They complete a secure ID check
They scan their passport or driving licence and take a selfie. Our IDV partners handle document checks, liveness detection, and fraud controls to meet Companies House standards.
Step 3 – Use the results when notifying Companies House
ACSPverify provides a clear summary aligned to the Companies House identity verification standard so you can complete the "Tell Companies House you have verified someone's identity" service confidently.
Note: ACSPverify is not an official Companies House service. It is a private platform designed to help ACSPs follow Companies House identity verification guidance more efficiently.
